Chapter 116 1+1=3!!!
Wei Shan's prized skill in using counting rods became a joke at this moment!
His mind went blank, and a fine layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead!
How is that possible?
How could this possibly be a regular math problem?
He exhausted all his knowledge, but couldn't find a single clue!
Looking at Wei Shan's face, which turned from red to white, and then from white to green.
Fairy Pei's gaze remained unwavering as she turned to Han Kou.
"Young Master Han, here's your question."
"We now have both fine horses and mediocre horses, capable of carrying a total of fifty bushels of grain!"
"If a fine horse carries two more bushels of grain, and a sloppy horse carries two fewer bushels, then the loads are the same!"
"Question: How many fine horses and how many inferior horses were carried?"
Han Kou was still secretly mocking Wei Shan, but when he heard his own question, he was completely dumbfounded!
"A fine horse... a nag... a long-hauled horse... a short-hauled horse... are they the same?"
His eyes widened, and his mouth was agape enough to fit an egg!
He only understood "horse" and "stone," as for the rest of the words.
To him, it was like reading gibberish!
now.
Wei Shan and Han Kou were frozen in place, as if under a spell, their minds completely blank!
They were proud of their family background, talent, and martial prowess.
Two simple math problems completely crushed me!
Fairy Pei sighed softly, her voice still cold and clear:
"Gentlemen, it seems I am not destined to be with you. Please leave."
This is... literally kicking them out!
"No!"
Wei Shan became anxious.
"I don't believe it!"
"We'd like to see what kind of difficult problem you've given him!"
"Yes! We want to watch too!"
Han Kou roared back defiantly.
The two insisted on staying put.
Fairy Pei frowned slightly, seemingly a little impatient, but still nodded:
"Can."
Then, under the jealous and resentful gazes of the two, Fairy Pei's clear, spring-like eyes fell on Zhang Fan once again.
This time, there was a hint of... gentleness in her eyes?
She asked softly, her voice much quieter than before:
"Young Master Zhang, your question..."
She paused, seemingly a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushing slightly even through her veil.
"Excuse me……"
"What is one... plus one?"
These words were spoken.
The other three men in the room were instantly struck by lightning!
Wei Shan: "???"
Han Kou: "???"
Zhang Fan: "???"
Wei Shan and Han Kou stared wide-eyed, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets!
They couldn't believe their ears!
What the hell?!
Our problems are hellishly difficult, like "Han Xin Counting Soldiers" and "Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage"!
When it came to him, it became "What does one plus one equal?"
Is this some kind of math problem?
This is an insult to our intelligence!
Zhang Fan was completely dumbfounded!
He had prepared a wealth of knowledge in calculus, linear algebra, Fourier transform, and more...
So this is what you asked me?
Looking at the expressions on the three people's faces, as if they had seen a ghost.
Fairy Pei's face turned even redder. She herself felt that the question was too... too obvious!
She quickly waved her hand, signaling Wei Shan and Han Kou to leave:
"Alright! The questions are all given! You two gentlemen may leave now!"
"Are you kidding us?!"
Han Kou could no longer hold back. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly!
His eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Fairy Pei and roared:
"Why are our questions so difficult, while his questions are so easy?"
"You're humiliating us!"
however.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fairy Pei's voice turned cold instantly.
"presumptuous!"
She stared coldly at Han Kou, emanating an invisible pressure.
"Are you trying to cause trouble at Ji Honglou?"
The three words "Ji Honglou" were like a bucket of ice water poured over Han Kou's head!
He shuddered and instantly calmed down!
Reason returned to his mind!
He can be arrogant and domineering, but he absolutely cannot cause trouble at Ji Honglou!
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and stopped looking at Pei Xian.
Instead, he fixed his murderous gaze on Zhang Fan!
"Good! Very good!"
He said through gritted teeth,
"You just wait, kid!"
"Today, if you dare to step out of the Ji Honglou gates, I will tear you limbs off and turn you into a human pig!"
On the other side, Wei Shan's face was equally gloomy.
Although he didn't speak, his cold gaze said it all.
Zhang Fan's expression hardened, and he glanced at Fairy Pei indifferently.
This favoritism is... way too obvious!
Not even bothering to put on an act?
What are the origins of Ji Honglou and this Fairy Pei?
What makes Han Kou so afraid?
He chuckled inwardly, but put on a humble smile as he addressed Fairy Pei:
"My lady, I have a favor to ask."
He paused, and amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, looked at Wei Shan and said with a smile:
"If I could solve Young Master Wei's riddle!"
"Could we... allow him to stay as well?"
What?
These words shocked everyone present!
Han Kou was stunned!
Fairy Pei was stunned!
Wei Shan himself was stunned!
Immediately, Wei Shan's lips curled into a cold smile.
That kid knows what's good for him!
They're scared now, and they want to curry favor with the Wei family!
However, before he could even feel smug.
Zhang Fan's next words struck him like a thunderbolt!
Zhang Fan continued with a smile:
"Young Master Wei has offended the fairy; naturally, he must apologize!"
"I see that Young Master Wei is a very magnanimous person, so perhaps..."
"How about we impose a penalty of ten jars of wine as an apology to the fairy?"
That's all!
Wei Shan's jaw nearly dropped to the ground in shock!
His eyes widened in disbelief at what he had just heard!
A penalty of ten jars of wine?
That's wine!
It's not water!
After ten jars, even immortals would collapse!
This guy isn't helping me, he's setting me up!
Pei Xianzi frowned slightly. She glanced at Zhang Fan, then at Wei Shan, whose face was ashen, and nodded.
"Can."
She spoke calmly, directly instructing the maid outside the door:
"Go and fetch ten jars of 'Drunken Immortal's Brew'!"
"Let Young Master Wei taste the wine!"
Upon hearing this, Han Kou, who was standing to the side, immediately burst into laughter!
He looked at Wei Shan with schadenfreude, his face full of mockery.
Serves you right for being arrogant!
Now you're dumbfounded!
Zhang Fan, on the other hand, had a barely perceptible smile playing at the corners of his lips.
This is exactly the effect he wanted!
People speak the truth when they're drunk!
Later, we'll get Wei Shan half-drunk and subtly probe into the background of "Shantongtang"!
Wei Shan's handsome face instantly turned a deep liver color!
He's in a bind!
We'll drink until we're completely drunk!
Refusing to drink is tantamount to admitting defeat in public!
How am I supposed to live in Shangdang County after this?!
He gritted his teeth, pointed at Zhang Fan, and roared, his voice trembling with fear:
"Okay! I'll drink it! But only after you can solve the problem!"
He threatened viciously:
"Kid, don't talk big!"
"I can't even solve this problem, how could you?"
Han Kou also fanned the flames from the sidelines:
"That's right! Playing tricks!"
"I refuse to believe that you can solve a problem that even Wei Shan couldn't solve!"
Fairy Pei's expression tightened, and she looked at Zhang Fan nervously, about to speak...
"No need to force yourself..."
Zhang Fan interrupted her directly, stood up, and spoke calmly.
